In the early morning of the next day, Chu Pengtian took Liao Fan to Dahongzhai in Lotus Mountain. After Chu Pengtian arranged everything, he took Chun Zhiyi to the White Lotus Village, preparing to take over all the affairs of the White Lotus Village.

The whole process was very smooth, with the help of Chu Pengtian's coercion and coercion Chun Zhiyi, Chu Pengtian took over the White Lotus Village very smoothly, although some of them still wanted to resist, but Chu Pengtian inherited Liao Fan's methods, and did not let go of those who wanted to resist.

Especially those small leaders in the White Lotus Village, Chu Pengtian directly ordered to be shot in public, and of course there was also Chun Zhiyi in the list of those who were shot.

After a day of busy work, Chu Peng Tiancai cleaned up the belongings of the White Lotus Village, so the White Lotus Village disappeared in Lotus Mountain in one day.

When several bandits of all sizes in Lotus Mountain learned that Bailian Village was annexed by Dahongzhai with the same power as Bailian Village, they were all shocked.

However, there were two bandits with relatively large forces who immediately communicated with each other after learning the news. Dahongzhai annexed Bailian Village, the strength has increased significantly, obviously has the ability to fight with them, for their own interests, the two sides have to consider the issue of joining forces to curb the development of Dahongzhai.

However, at this time, Dahongzhai was holding a celebration banquet, more like picking up the wind and washing the dust for Liao Fan, in addition to Chu Pengtian, the squad leader in Dahongzhai also knew Liao Fan's identity, and of course they were sitting together more to welcome Liao Fan.

As for Li Daoqun and Yingzi, who had been arranged by Chu Pengtian to rest, they did not participate in this banquet.

The banquet was noisy until late, and it was inevitable to drink at the bandit banquet, but Chu Pengtian knew that Liao Fan couldn't drink, so he changed the wine to boiled water, so after drinking a round, Liao Fan was still in good spirits.

In the round of drinking, the big and small leaders of Dahongzhai admired the elder brother of their own family.

Chu Pengtian saw that everyone had almost drunk, so he let everyone disperse, and then took Liao Fan and Lu Liming into his place.

"Brother Fan, the place where you live is next door, and I have temporarily wronged you to live together!"

Chu Pengtian's village is in the mountains, most of the brothers live in caves, and only a few places are houses built of wood on the mountain, among which there is one belonging to Chu Pengtian, and there is still an empty one next door.

"There is nothing wronged or wronged, Lu Liming, you go and clean up the room first, I have something to talk about with Chu Pengtian!"

For the situation of Dahongzhai, during the day, I already have some understanding, and now Dahongzhai plus the newly annexed White Lotus Village, the total number of people is only more than 500 people.

In contrast, the terrain of Dahongzhai is still relatively good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there was a group of bandits here at the beginning, so the defense in many places is also perfect.

"Brother Fan, thank you for bringing Yingzi over! But when you leave, will she take it back? "Chu Pengtian has already discussed this matter with Yingzi, and now although Chu Pengtian has a place to stay, the situation in Lotus Mountain is also very complicated.

Especially Chu Pengtian doesn't want to have his own shortcomings in Lotus Mountain, once one day he has a negligence in his precautions, and someone threatens him with Yingzi, he doesn't know what kind of thing he will do, if Yingzi returns to Taihang Mountain, he will have no worries.

"Does Yingzi agree?" Liao Fan asked.

"I've already discussed it with her!" Chu Pengtian was a little reluctant.

"It's really hard for you, there's no way, now many forces are staring at Taihang Mountain, there are some things we have to prepare in advance, otherwise we won't just lose a battalion of brothers in the future!" Liao Fan knew that this matter was unfair to Chu Pengtian, but the only person he could trust and who could do this was Chu Pengtian.

"Brother Fan, I understand!"

"How many people have you assigned to work now?" Liao Fan asked Chu Pengtian if there had been progress in what he had told him.

"We have already arranged twenty-two people on the Central Army's side, and there are also some people from other local troops, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult on the Yan'an side! So far, there hasn't been much progress. ”

"Don't rush, take your time, don't put too much pressure on yourself, but you also have to remember that everyone must be strictly inspected before arranging for them to come over, otherwise once the matter is exposed, it will be us who will lose!"

Arrange their own manpower in the army of the whole of China, this is the behavior of spies, once it is known by all forces, they will definitely torture to extract confessions, and then all the spearheads of these things will be pointed at Taihang Mountain, and Liao Fan will become the target of public criticism.

"Brother Fan, I know what to do, now that so many people have been arranged, a few of us can be regarded as having a basic plan!"

"That's good, are there a few bandit forces around you in trouble?"

"Originally, I didn't, I'm afraid I have it now!" Chu Pengtian glanced at Liao Fan with resentment, this matter really has something to do with Liao Fan.

"What do you mean by that?" Liao Fan looked at Chu Pengtian incomprehensibly.

"There are two cottages in our north, one in the northeast is called Lielong Mountain, and one in the northwest is called Qingniu Village, these two cottages are currently the two largest bandit dens in our region, of which there are more than 800 people in Lielong Mountain, and there are more than 900 people in Qingniu Village. Originally, the White Lotus Village was right in the middle of our three forces, and it had some buffer against our Dahong Village, but now that the White Lotus Village has been annexed by us, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among Lielong Mountain and Qingniu Village! ”

Liao Fan understood what Chu Pengtian meant, and now it seems that it is indeed a little early to attack Chun Zhiyi.

"There is no motivation without pressure, I believe in you!" Liao Fan patted Chu Pengtian on the shoulder and said.

"Brother Fan, if you are not as irresponsible as you, if the two families are really stimulated to join forces, we really won't have a good life, once there is a conflict with the little devil or something in the future, these bandits will fall into the ground!"

"Then I can't go and solve them all for you, as soon as I come to you, the two largest cottages will be swallowed up by a small cottage of yours, which will definitely be easy to arouse the suspicion of others, so this matter requires you to use your brains more, I don't believe that these bandits really have no conflict of interest, and dare to rest assured that they will hand over their backs to another group of bandits."

As the saying goes, gentlemen are frank and villains, and bandits come together for their own interests, but once there is a conflict of interests between them, they cooperate very happily one second, like brothers, and the next second they are likely to become enemies.

Chu Pengtian glanced at Liao Fan, sometimes he really wanted to complain to Liao Fan, where did the commander have such a pit for his subordinates, now it is better to follow Liao Fan without any blessings, he will be tired and die.

"You don't have to look at me with white eyes, I won't come empty-handed this time, the Li Daoqun who followed us into the mountain will stay with you!" Liao Fan said to Chu Pengtian.

"By the way, Brother Fan, I haven't asked Li Daoqun about his origins, who is he?" Chu Pengtian asked Liao Fan curiously.

In the village below the mountain, the conflict with Chun Zhiyi was also because of this person, since he saved him, let him go, why did he let Li Daoqun drag his family into the mountain.

"This person we met in Luoyang, don't look at his body, he is a doctor, and he is a doctor who came back from studying in Japan!"

"Great, we are short of a doctor here, Brother Fan, you are really a charcoal in the snow! Later, when the brothers were injured, they did not need to seek medical treatment from the village veterinarians. ”

Surgeons are treasures in this day and age, and even some barefoot doctors in the local area have been requisitioned into the army.

Now that they have a regular doctor in Dahongzhai, the life of the injured soldiers will be much better in the future.

"He's not just a doctor, he's also coming back from studying in Japan, so you have to treat people well, don't use them when you use them, and kick him aside when you don't need them."

Dahongzhai finally has its own doctor, which is the first one in the entire bandit's den, that is, there is a veterinarian in other cottages, and they will be respectful.

Although Liao Fan did not solve the problem of the two big cottage threats for Chu Pengtian, a doctor can improve the morale of the brothers in the cottage, and they don't have to worry about no one to treat them after they are injured.

Liao Fan learned some other things from Chu Pengtian, and seeing that it was getting late, the two of them went back to sleep.

During his days in Dahongzhai, Liao Fan has always maintained a very mysterious posture, although he occasionally went to see the training of soldiers, but rarely greeted these people. Under the supervision of a squad leader, the soldiers in the stockade trained hard.

The only thing that made Liao Fan feel inadequate was the weapons and equipment in Dahong Village, the weapons in their hands were all snatched from the bandits, although there were more than 500 people, but nearly 200 of them were holding big knives and spears, if they faced the regular army, these brothers who did not have guns were likely to become cannon fodder.

But Liao Fan can't solve the current situation of Dahongzhai, after all, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the logistics of Taihang Mountain can't go all the way to supply Dahongzhai.

However, the other two larger cottages are not much better than Dahongzhai, although they have a large number of people, but their gun ownership rate is not as good as Dahongzhai.

For the situation in Dahongzhai, Liao Fan already knew the basic situation, from personnel and equipment to eating, drinking, and sleeping, Liao Fan did not let go of any of them.

What makes Liao Fan most pleased is that in addition to supporting the local government, the local people are most supportive of this gang of bandits in Dahongzhai. As long as the villages under the jurisdiction of Dahongzhai have not been harmed by any bandits.

Even if there are little devils making trouble, Dahongzhai will take the initiative to provide a place for the local villagers to take refuge, so the people still support this gang of bandits.

On this day, Liao Fan happened to have nothing to do, and Chu Pengtian took a squad leader to the place where Liao Fan lived.

"Lielong Mountain and Qingniuzhai have sent news that they are going to hold a bandit conference in this area!" Chu Pengtian reported to Liao Fan.

"Bandit convention? Is it because you have annexed the White Lotus Village, and they want to take the opportunity to attack you? Liao Fan asked cautiously.

"I don't rule out this possibility, but according to our investigation, bandits in this area hold a bandit meeting every year before the Chinese New Year." The first squad leader reported to Liao Fan.

In fact, the bandit conference is similar to the gangster's meeting in various halls, which is nothing more than declaring who is the boss of this place, showing off his muscles, and then letting the bandits, big and small, better not to cause trouble with them, otherwise they will clean you up in minutes.

It's just that Chu Pengtian is here for the first year, and their strength has developed too rapidly, maybe this time the bandit conference will be held against Chu Pengtian's Dahongzhai. After all, after the annexation of Bailian Village, Dahongzhai now has the strength to wrestle with the two families.
